    Am learning a lot

    It is a liberal arts college so you learn a lot about what they are teaching. You are more than just a seat in the classroom. The professors are more one on one with the students and they get to know their students.
    Am enjoying being here

    Ozarks has been a joy and I enjoy being here. With it being such a small school compared to other colleges, it makes the students get to know each other closer than you would see in other colleges.
    Bang for the buck

    Since it is a private college, it is a little expensive but compared to other private colleges elsewhere the price is extremely low. If you are looking for a college in Arkansas and plan to work in Arkansas, a degree from a private school would be accepted over a state college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go for a tour and see for yourselves the campus. There are many clubs and organizations that one could join. Have fun in college, it's not just about learning more book work, but to make memories and enjoying yourself while earning a degree.
    Great for these types of students

    Theater, Music, and Art majors, there is a great program for those majors. The Teacher Education program is also a great program for education majors. There is also science, earth and biology, majors that have a great program and are very much welcome at the Ozarks. Business and Accounting majors are also welcome and have a great program here at the Ozarks.

    The University of the Ozarks is a small liberal arts university that offers more than just an education. The small student population provides an intimate atmosphere and allows students to make valuable connections with people, both professional and casual. Each professor longs to see you succeed and provides you with everything you need to do so.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions. Talk to the current students. They will always be honest with you. Don't be afraid to ask if you can come sit in on a class or two. If you need more scholarship money, ask for it. This school takes pleasure in being personal with you.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are intense. I have worked very hard to maintain my GPA, but I have never felt overwhelmed, and, unlike in high school, I know that I have learned and retained information. I actually look forward to going to class.
    Dorm Life

    I love my dorm hall. The people are friendly. The bathrooms are very clean. We have programs almost every night. There is hardly ever a boring moment.
    Food and Dining

    It is cafeteria food, so of course it doesn't taste like home. However, there are always plenty of options, so you will never go hungry, and you will always find something that you enjoy.
    What to do for fun

    I usually go hiking or take a picnic. There are plenty of parks and nature trails. The Campus Activities Board throws fun events every weekend that are totally free to the students. Also, there is a movie theater in town and a bowling alley.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is pricey, but i am confident that the education is worth it and they offer wonderful scholarships each year.
    Great for these types of students

    If you like small schools where you know most of the people, this school is a great match. Honestly, everyone from athletes to music lovers and artsy people fit in here.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many organizations that you can be a part of, whether you choose to be in a club that is helpful towards your major, or simply an extracurricular activity that you enjoy. We have everything from Planet Club and Psychology Club, to Ozarks Outdoors and Baptist Collegiate Ministry.
    Greek Life

    None.
    Campus Safety

    I can walk across campus at night without an escort and feel perfectly safe. The campus is always well-lit and is located in a small town with a low crime rate. Also, one of the perks of a small school is knowing almost everyone. Whenever we see someone we have never seen on campus before, we are all aware of them. We would all be able to know if a dangerous person was on campus.

    Tips for prospective students

    small colleges are better, because they offer more help and they cost less. please bring sandals as you will be taking showers here and don't forget that you live on your own now, come prepared.
    Academic Rigor

    Dorm Life

    Am learning a lot

    The classes here are more challenging than all other schools in the area. You will come out of this school with more than ample knowledge to start your career or enter graduate school. I know as a biology major the school has had a 100% acceptance rate into medical school for the last 4 years.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the friendly atmosphere. If you really like the outdoors, then this is the place for you.
    Bang for the buck

    The school invests all the money back into the campus and the students. And the education level is top notch.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to work hard and study a lot.
    Great for these types of students

    Those who like the outdoors and who are very driven, to be able to keep up with the work load.

    The campus is really small and simple. I like that about it. I went to a campus day and met so many great people!
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, it is pretty expensive. The thing about it is, they offer way more scholarship money than a public school would.
    Tips for prospective students

    I sat in on a class and even though it wasn't quite my forte, the teacher was extremely interesting and the style of teaching was clear.
    Will enjoy being here

    When I toured the university I absolutely loved it!
    Bang for the buck

    It is a little expensive, but I'm sure it's worth it.
